My two cents on 2 things you mentioned:
Fuel. Every time I refuel, I do it to the rim, and then work out my consumption based on the hours in the Journey logs. Quite consistently, my fuel burn is 17 Gal/hr. I don't fly like a speed freak, so that's what I get at 150 - 155 KIAS @ 6,000 - 8,000 AGL.

Insurance. Probably the biggest variant. I've seen cheaper ones and more elaborate ones. I am insured for motion + no motion, on ground and air , with pax and 3rd parties injury (i.e. full inclusive) for $4,700 CAD per year.
